In this post I have explained a variety of op amp preamplifier circuits, and there should be an appropriate layout here for almost any standard audio preamplifier application. As the name suggests itself, a preamplifier is an audio circuit which is used before a power amplifier, or between a small signal source and a power […]

RF Amplifier Circuits and RF Converters
In this article I have explained a few high frequency RF converter and preamplifier circuit designs which can be used for amplifying or enhancing the reception of an existing RF receiver. All the RF amplifier circuits provided below are intended to be placed near an existing amateur radio receiver or a matching radio set in […]
How to Design MOSFET Power Amplifier Circuits – Parameters Explained
In this post I have explained various parameters that must be considered while designing a MOSFET power amplifier circuit. We also analyze the difference between bipolar junction transistors (BJT) and MOSFET characteristics and understand why MOSFETS are more suitable and efficient for power amplifier applications. Contributed by Daniel Schultz Overview When designing a power amplifier […]
Simple Mini Audio Amplifier Circuits
In this article we are discussing a handful of simple, mini audio amplifier circuits which can be built quickly for amplifying very tiny input signals into audible speaker outputs. 1) 1 Watt Amplifier Circuit The first simple mini audio amplifier circuit works with a ‘complementary’ output stage, having a single NPN and a single PNP […]
Tuned Radio Frequency (TRF) Receiver Circuits
A tuned radio frequency receiver (or TRF receiver) is a form of radio receiver which is made using a number of tuned radio frequency (RF) amplifier stages accompanied by a detector (demodulator) circuit to draw out the audio signal, along with an audio frequency amplifier for amplifying the extracted audio into a loudspeaker. This kind […]
4 Efficient PWM Amplifier Circuits Explained
Audio amplifiers which are designed to amplify an analogue audio signal through pulse width modulation or PWM processing and with adjustable duty cycle is known by many names including digital amplifier, Class-D amplifier, switched amplifier and PWM amplifier. (Article Contributed by: Ritu khanna) Because it can perform at high efficiencies, a Class-D amplifier has become […]
